barrett's #166 - Solved - Alfa Romeo Alfasud prototype c.1968-70

[barrett]

What is this and from when does it date?

[Siata1]

Alfasud prototype, built in 1970.

[barrett]

I have a slightly earlier date but I'm not sure.... Locked for you to either come up with what I have, or show some proof that it does in fact date from 1970. I'm happy to be proved wrong on this as my information comes from the internet so is definitely not 100% reliable!

[Siata1]

In November 1968, the first prototype was ready and tried by Hruska. The first picture I remember was published in late 1970 (on an Italian road). My source says 1970, but it is possible the winter tests ran from 1969 until 1971.

[barrett]

Well I have 1968 but it is possible that it actually dates from 1969. I've awarded you the point as you obviously know the car, which now makes you an expert!

Congratulations, I look forward to seeing you post some new puzzles of your own!

Easy point : what is this car and from when ?

[mekubb]

Up

[WayneB]

Its an Alfa Romeo Alfasud disguised prototype /test mule undergoing winter testing (probably in Sweden)
Probably around 1969/1970.

[mekubb]

Yes, that's it but it is a bit younger than 1970. Locked to come up with the right year

[WayneB]

The Alfasud came out as a production car in 1971 so I will say 1968.

[mekubb]

Although English is not my native language, younger means less old then 1969/1970... so with 1968 you are going the wrong way 

[WayneB]

1971 then.

[mekubb]

Yep, a point for you !
